Live Green with Energy Efficiency

Southern Colorado’s Premier Custom Home Builder

Founded in 2004 by Nate Grabill, Pioneer West Homes is an award-winning custom home builder specializing in designing and building highly energy-efficient custom homes. We believe our advantage is our difference. Our philosophy is to build homes that are not only exceptional from a craftsmanship and design standpoint, but also push the boundaries in energy-efficient design.

A lot of home builders will tout building an energy-efficient new home. But, Pioneer West Homes prides itself on being the first company in Southern Colorado to certify a LEED for Homes project as Gold and Platinum (the highest certification available in LEED for Homes, read more about LEED here). As well, we are the only custom home builder in Southern Colorado to commit to building 100% of our homes to the strict Energy Star Version 3 Standards.

Any home builder can build a beautiful home from the outside. At Pioneer West Homes, we specialize in many types of energy-efficient construction techniques including ICF (insulated concrete forms), foam insulation, solar thermal, solar electric and geo-thermal heating and cooling that will make your home not only beautiful on the outside, but more beautiful (read as BETTER PERFORMING, LESS EXPENSIVE TO OPERATE, MORE COMFORTABLE…) on the inside as well.
